THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 3, 1930 PAGE THREE Contractors Made Start on New Subway Saturday Afternoon City Issues Writ Against The Garton Bus Company for Collection of Mileage Tax Action Taken Upon Author- ity of City Solicitor Grier son -- Amount of $182 Claimed for Six Months INTENDS TO PAY BUS MAN STATES "City Cutting Off Hand Which Feeds It," T. A. Garton Claims--Says Gar- ton Co. Brings Business to Oshawa The City of Oshawa has issued a writ for $182 against T. A. Garton, proprietor of the Garton Bus Co., operating between Bow- manville, Oshawa and Whitby, for the collection of mileage tax, Muni- cipalities have the right by bylaw to. tax bus companies at a rate of one tenth of a cent per passen- ger per mile for every mile busses are operated through the streets of the municipality. The Garton Bus Co. has consistently refused to pay this tax and the sum of $182 represents the arrears in taxes for the number of miles which the company has operated through Oshawa from April to September inclusive. The writ was issued upon au- thority of Col. J. F. Grierson, city solicitor, to whom the matter of collecting the bus tax was referred by the city council after Mr, Gar- ton had intimated that he would not pay. Col. Grierson informed The Times today that if the city's claim is disputed it is probable that the action would be heard in county court, Intends To Pay "I intend to pay the tax but I CARRIER FIREARM, MAN 1S WARNED Leo Claus Claimed Weapon Was Plaything for Little Son Leo 8.

A Garton, of Bowmanville, stated when interviewed by The Times today.

The action of the city in imposing the tax will make it 'much more difficult for the company to effect any decrease.

This he brought to police head- quarters as evidence of an attempt ito set fire to the barn, Neighbours Set Watch A short time later, fire again broke out in the barn, but the neighbours extinguished {it before it became serious, On this occa- gion, also, oily rags were found burning in the barn. Following thie, Maurice Hart, councillor of last Whitby, and George Grills, of Harmony, determined to watch the premises. They took up their po- sition under a tree about twenty yards from the barn. About 10.15 they saw the figure of a man en- tering the barn. They went to the" door, and saw a match being Iit, and thrown down in the straw, Fortunately, it went out. The man then came out of the barn, and started to run toward Wilson's house. Mr, Hart and Mr. Grills intercepted him, and found it to be Henry W, Wilson, the occupant of the house next door. Mr, Hart then called Provincial Constable Mitchell and Fire Chief Elliott, who reached the scene about 10.45 p.m. There they found Wilson being held by his captors, and a large crowd assembled. Af- ter hearing the report of the watchers, Constable Mitchell plac- ed Wilson under arrest, and took him to the Oshawa Police station, a charge of attempted arson being laid against him, The arrest cre- ated a great sensation in the Har- mony district where there have been several incendiary fires dur- ing the last few weeks. No charge in connection with any of these fires has, however, been laid against Wilson, asleep in the house at the time of his arrest, They were awakened and dressed, and taken to the Children's Shelter, while Wilson's dog is being taken care of by the fire chief. | is a Henry Wilson, the accused, {Great War veteran who has suffer- od greatly. from ill-health and other | s¢ troubles in the last year or two.
